    IPOH: The Perak state government will provide special assistance to about 4,000 hawkers and small traders, in the form of a one-off payment of RM500 each, following the imposition of the nationwide movement control order effective from today until March 31 to curb the spread of Covid-19.

    Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Ahmad Faizal Azumu (pix) said the assistance would soon be given to all hawkers and traders registered with local authorities in Perak.

    “The total cost of this aid is estimated to be almost RM2 million,“ he said in a statement today.

    In addition, the state government will bear half of the rental of food stalls under the purview of all local authorities for the months of March and April – this initiative will cost more than RM770,000.

    To honour the 1,500 Perak Health Department front liners involved in the fight against Covid-19, the state government will sponsor lunches and dinners over a two-week period, Ahmad Faizal added, explaining that this will cost nearly RM200,000.

    He added that a special allocation of RM160,000 made possible by the state government and some state government-linked companies, would be used to purchase additional equipment needed by health department personnel. – Bernama

    Gov’t cancels ‘Visit Malaysia 2020’ campaign over Covid-19 3

    KUALA LUMPUR: The government has cancelled the Visit Malaysia 2020 campaign due to the Covid-19 situation, Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Nancy Shukri announced tonight.

    She said Covid-19 has had a detrimental effect on the tourism sector in Malaysia in particular and the world in general.

    Due to the movement control order from March 18 to 31 to check the spread of Covid-19, the ministry had to freeze many tourism-related services, she said in a statement.

    The services include all counter and online services at the Tourism Licensing Division and ministry offices in the states, such as licensing of tour companies, tour guides, tourism accommodation, spas and foot reflexology centres, she added.

    Nancy said in line with the Movement Control Order, all tourist accommodations are allowed to operate at a minimum level.

    “All guests at the accommodation premises must remain in their respective rooms during the quarantine period and order their meals through room service.

    “Check-ins at tourist accommodation will also be permitted, but on a small and limited scale,” she said.

    However, new domestic tourists wanted to check-in at the premises would not be allowed, she added.

    VM2020 was launched on Dec 31, targeting 30 million visitor arrivals and RM100 billion tourist receipts. – Bernama

    Cuepacs hopes govt ensures well-being, safety of civil servants on duty 4

    KUALA LUMPUR: The Congress of Unions of Employees in the Public and Civil Services (Cuepacs) hopes the government can take initiatives or steps to safeguard the well-being of civil servants who have to serve during the duration of the movement control order.

    Its president, Adnan Mat said the safety and well-being of staff and their family members should be given priority, especially for those who had to work during the period.

    “The support and cooperation of the public in understanding the work of civil servants is also needed as the country is facing a crisis such as Covid-19,“ he said in a statement today.

    Meanwhile, Cuepacs also hopes that airline companies could be flexible for those who had booked tickets by offering open tickets to set new travel dates rather than cancelling without refunds.

    This would help ease the burden of the people, Adnan said.

    Yesterday, Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin declared that Malaysia would enforce a movement control order effective tomorrow until March 31 throughout the country to contain the spread of Covid-19. – Bernama
